In 2017 Canon offered early EOS 5D4 users the ability to add C-Log to their camera, but it required a chargeable factory parts change---Not simply a firmware update.

Much ado about nothing,

"Update: Canon has clarified its original statement. It now says that no hardware change is made but that, 'due to the software architecture in the camera we need to connect and use our service tool to upgrade.' The company also says that non-C-Log versions of the 5D IV will continue to be sold."

...which still shows that it was not something a user could do on their own as a simple FW update, so it still stands that Canon has never charged for a firmware update.  This has already been hashed over further up in the thread as you know.
